The Puffer Forum

I will have to try it. I dont want to stand by a watch this fish get killed.

I let the fish store person talk me into getting a bullet goby to live with my green spotted puffer. She said it was a very fast fish and it could easily swim away if the puffer attacked it, but she said the puffer probably wouldnt attack it. Anyways.. up till today they have been great together. Th...

Im still building my tank. Got rid of those cheesy plastic decorations and got live rock, rock with coraline algae, hair algae and some other kind of algae that looks like tall trees?? lol. I also just added three hermits and a Dragon Goby. All is well for now.

My GSP is doing great!! Thank you all for all the help.

I was obessed the first time I saw one at the store. Its such a unique fish with its fat little body and the awesome bright green with black spotts. Its the most awesome fish!!

Will do. Thank you.

nitrate 40, nitrite .5, Alk. 300, PH 8.4. Doesnt look bad right now.

I have been slowly raising my salinity to brakish, only raising it by .001 each day. My puffers eating habits have been great, eating two small portions a day. This time I waited two days because I wanted to make sure the salinity wasnt going to go higher than I wanted it. So today I steadily raised...

I found a video on youtube by newyorksteelo, on deep sand beds. This guy had worms and such in his sand that cleaned his sand bed. Can I do this in a sand bed that is only 1-3 inches? Can I do this by just adding a couple live rocks? Do they need to be coral? Where is a good inexpensive place to get...

This is my brakish tank. Thank you all for your help! I will eventually bring salinity up to 1.024 and add live rock. http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/ug.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=34098 This is my Green Spotted Puffer "Puffer". Doing really well. Did not show any signs...

I want to show you pictures of my tank and puffer but Im still trying to figure out how to do it.

OK. Ive got my GSP in the new 29 gallon tank along with a used filter from the old tank and some gravel and deco from the old tank. He ate quite a bit and swam around happily! All looks well right now.

One more thing. I have my tank cycled. Nitrates and nitrites and ph looks great. My sand will not be in till next week. Should I seperate my puffer from my betta now (and put him in the new tank) and just remove him again when Im ready to add the sand? Or would this be too much stress? Im just worri...
